manage...

Blogging is work. I mean, if you do it right, the process takes a lot of research and typing time. But fortunately, I've become used to the process. My blogging is kind of a knee-jerk reaction to relaxing. Its what I do instead of writing in a journal. This is similar to, but not equal to, drawing in my sketchbook. That time is special and I truly phase out when drawing.

Anyway, there's a lot going on in the Massive Ink world. I've been very busy selling political tshirts. Its not something that satisfies my creative needs but its good on the wallet... or at least sort of. After all's said and done, I think I spend more time working on building my 'massive' empire than I would be working for someone... but that's the beauty, its all mine.

That's about it from here. I'll leave you with a sketch I drew a week or so back. Lots of work to do tonight... always really. Work never stops when you work for yourself.

dudes...

There are many people out there that adamantly believe that their party - either Democrat or Republican - is the only way. These people think that their platform is the only hope and the only direction our country should be directed towards. The problem for all is the fact that people usually vote 'their pocketbooks' or whichever party is better for their finances.

As you may sit back and consider which side you are on... think about what Noam Chomsky says, this is an excellent short video that summarizes our national electoral and political party system. I have seen Noam speak, but all that he says is definitely not with my thinking... this video however, is a great explanation of what's happening now.



Hope this made some sense. And I think that 'we the people' can actually make a change... but, as it always is said, the change must happen at the base, locally, by you and me...
